I think Oxide needs a full Rust plugin development guide, this is my second attempt at making one,
theres a lot of good information on Oxide forumns but it is spread about

Please give feedback, advice, tips, constructive criticism, add sections, etc
This guide is incomplete but I believe in its current state would still be useful to others

My previous dump/guide ---> C# plugin development guide and advice dump | Oxide

My goal is to help n00bs, like me, just get started and get rock and rolling, I want to set everyone up for success.

Big shout out to Wulf and other developers who took the time to write out smaller guides and helpful posts.

Glad to see topic has 1,170 views! Hope I have helped many people

 

Any chance you'd consider making this a google doc? I have some suggestions for fixes and it may make it easier to collaborate.

 

Hey MrPoundsign, that is awesome! If youd like to turn it into a google doc and have a go at it, you have my full support!

 

Download is down :/

 

Here's my GDocs copy of it: OxidePluginDevelopmentDocumentation_3_a.doc

 

Made several changes. I hope you approve. Cheers!
